Experience the emotional power of JS Bach’s choral genius in this Adelaide Festival exclusive. Framed by music born of the Thirty Years’ War, this program explores how composers sought beauty and consolation amid political and spiritual upheaval. It features what was perhaps Bach’s first cantata, alongside his most ambitious and inspiring motet, in the hands of the finest Baroque performers of today.
